IMPROVEMENT POTS .'EOR SMELTING- GLASS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the name.,

the complete pot.

To enable others skilled in the nrt to mnke nud use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction und opemtion; und lirst, n. pot made from twosep-- r1-nte pieces', :tsrcpresented n the annexed drawings.

.ln Figure 1, of which A is thecrown of the pot, formed in one piece, amd A B, the baise of the pot, also vformed in one piece, both pieces being'so mnde that, \\'he'11.plnced together, they form n. complete pot, the line ot' their connection, E, being about the center of the hood C, or :thove'the metal lille.

The hood() muy he mnde in one piece, und connecting the crown A and base B together at that part, or partly on one or pnrtlyon both the crown and base, :is shown b v line E, tig. 1;

Figure 2 represents n longitudinal view of the onehnlt' ot' n. pot, separated in the center of the line 0f its length from top to botto'm of the pot.

A represents the crown ot' the pot, and may be 'formed at its lower edge, D, in sb-zt'pe like n groove,

tongue, dovetnil, inclined plane, or in any other 1nnnner, so ns to lit into or on a. corresponding or suitable shape formed in, or on the top of the buse of the pct `B, so, when placed or brought together, they will ninke -nn entire pot, :ts represented in lig. 1.

l The line of separation, E, many be had nt :my othersu'itnble pnrt of the pot, and we do not conne our# lseht-es to the one. described, but we think such n one to bev the most advantageous.

When the pot is made' of more thzm two pieces, the lilies ot' separation and connection may be had at any desired parts, and formed so as to fit the several pieces together, as the one above described. The object of our invention, 0r the forming the pot from two orl more pieces; is to obvinte n, ditlicnlty heretofore experienced by .manufacturers of' glass, viz, the cracking of the crown vof the pot below the metal line, while being heated, or in use.

What we clniin as new und our invention, which we desire to secure byLetters Pat-ent, is-v A pot for smelting glass, constructed in two or more parts ns herein described.
